ARE WE EVEN EDUCATED?

While having coffee with friends in a shop in SM, an interesting incident took place! ^^ Forgive my intrusion into other people's privacy of communication, but i think this lady just waved her protection from eavesdropping when she blurted into action that afternoon! ^^

Here's the story...

Deo, Kristian, Liv, Mae, and me were busy discussing about things while sipping freshly brewed coffee when a petite and "scantily" dressed morena lady (kasi naman, nakasuot siya ng napakaikling shorts) furiously approached the cashier and started confronting one of the lady-servers. Because i can directly see her from where I was seated, I began to take notice of her "annoyed" looks. Then she started to raise her voice like she was already shouting at one of the waitresses (as I can hear the waitress also answering her back, causing her to get the more irate).

Suddenly, she blurted, "Baka gusto mong patulan kita!" My mind immediately reacted, "It's as if you are not engaging her with your scandalous actions yet!"

Getting perhaps also pissed off, the waitress replied in a fighting-back decibel, "Baka gusto mo patulan din kita!" Hala, and they make patol each other na! Ano ba? Things are becoming exciting na!

The lady-customer went on to release bullets from her fiery mouth while the other waitresses were trying to assuade their colleague not to retaliate anymore as the customer was already obviously riding on the waters of wrath.

Finally, the lady-customer condescendingly remarked to the waitress (whose head was already hanging on her neck because whe was trying to stay calm), "I GUESS YOU'RE NOT EVEN EDUCATED!" And she left. She walked speedily away throwing her feet into the air as if she was gonna be a sky walker. I noticed the heavy landing of her sole on the floor as she walked like a model parading an angry banner with her steps reaching almost one meter in length already.

While the scene was ongoing, the customers (including us) were startled and we just looked on her anticipating her every move. As soon as she sat on her chair, we started telling each other, "are you even educated?" immitating how the lady said the phrase! ^^

We were so surprised at the words she said last.

If she claimed she was educated, she should not have been that harsh to the waitress whom she described as rude during the peak of her anger. We thought that her anger has taken away the better part of her.

If one claims that the other is uneducated but he acts more uneducated than the one he despises, he just shows that his education has not really succeeded in educating him. Perhaps, this saying applies: "Educated but unlearned."

Such an event must be an eye-opener for all of us who witnessed it. Shocking yet awakening. Ridiculously scandalous but though-provoking. One thing we must all deter from happening. Lest we also be called "uneducated."

Wondering what the bruhaha was all about? ~~ Just a condiment (sugar)!
